It was a strange drive. First, I noticed the lack of Palm trees. Then I noticed the lack of green and all the trees looking dead and gray. The radio started talking about "get your furnace and boilers serviced before you freeze".
I was the only car with Florida plates going NORTH. Soon, all the cars were dirty, gray and rusty. Gas prices were in the $3.60+ range. Snowplows were everywhere. Then We hit snow. Cars were off the road. Potholes, rust and bulky coats and gloves, etc. 18 degrees.
I just got in from snowblowing my son's driveway. Rock salt on the walks, etc. Something I never thought I'd do again. Boy...the power of grandbabies!
Weather permitting, I'll be back next week to palm trees and pickleball...

Your grandchildren are super cute and no doubt worth granting your wife's wishes, although that did seem like a white knuckle road trip north once the snow hit.
We are expecting another snowstorm beginning later today, but have no plans to venture out.
The memories of those warm and cuddly, adorable little babies will last for quite awhile. Thank goodness for skyping.
Safe trip back, hopefully on dry roads.
